Learn how to achieve overnight success

Most people want success in one or more areas in their lives, the success may be in their physical wellbeing, social status, financial status or relationship status. This is the reason we go to the gym, we take extra classes, we read books, start businesses or look for better jobs.

This I believe is the common denominator in most of our lives and nothing is wrong with it, however the problem arises when some of us get angry seeing others achieving the successes we have been wanting for ourselves. This can be vaguely referred to a jealousy, we become envious of other people’s successes, which with time brews evils we witness in society. With all of this said, I am not planning to be the devil’s advocate but when we throw shade at other people’s successes this is a true reflection of how we feel about ourselves.

Success does not come easy, take at the people around you that you consider successful in any given field- an artist, an entrepreneur, a businessperson, a politician even those in successful relationships- whatever they have took hard work, it took sacrifices – we only become envious because we are too lazy to make the same sacrifices they made to reach the levels they are currently in. We are constantly staring up the staircase wishing to reach the top but not willing to take the steps.

Success in whatever area needs a fight, fights leave scars and you have to be ready to fight the battles necessary to achieve it. This is simply the law of cause and effect, you must be willing to make those dreary cold calls to make a sale, you must be willing to study long hours to get that first class, you must be willing to train hard to be the best athlete, you must be willing to build those relationships to become that successful business person, you must be willing to pay the price. Anything we say or do trying to explain why we are not as successful as those we admire are just excuses and excuses are justifications for incompetence.

Whenever you see someone else accomplishing the things you want for yourself, do not be jealous or envious, put it on yourself to get to understand the sacrifices and effort they made towards achieving them- real success does not come overnight. It comes from sustained discipline, effort, patience and drive towards a goal you set for yourself.

The best thing about success is that it unlimited, it is not exhausted whenever its achieved by one more person, in fact it increases as more and more people achieve it.

Everyone can be successful but they must be willing to pay the price for it. Do not short circuit yours be feelings of jealousy and envy but stay hungry and build the drive from within towards the prize. The reasons you give for not doing so are excuses, for every problem there is a way and it doesn’t come cheap. The bigger the challenges wrapping the reward the bigger the prize.
